Confirmed: FBI Security Clearances Suspended for Agents’ Wrong Beliefs

A new whistleblower, this one a Democrat, has pulled back the curtain on the extent of corruption within the FBI, confirming that agents’ security clearances were suspended for having the wrong beliefs.

Those would include the wrong political beliefs, the wrong medical beliefs or even the ethnicity views of the agent, according to reports.

A report from the Daily Signal explained Tristan Leavitt, chief of Empower Oversight, told Congress on behalf of the whistleblower, “The client—a registered Democrat—witnessed firsthand as an SSA [supervisory special agent] how the FBI’s Security Division improperly suspended or revoked employees’ security clearances whose political views, medical views, or even ethnicity were questioned by Security Division leadership.” . . .

Specifically, the Democrat charges the FBI chiefs with targeting employees who supported President Donald Trump or opposed those COVID-19 shots that now have proven to have injured thousands of people.

“If an FBI employee fit a certain profile as a political conservative, they were viewed as security concerns and unworthy to work at the FBI,” the whistleblower’s lawyer, Leavitt, wrote Horowitz in requesting an independent investigation.

Watch: Woke Church Celebrates Queer Youth — ‘You Are Queer Enough as You Are’ — and Then Invokes the ‘Queer Ancestors’?!

As the woke mob grows ever louder and crazier, some Western churches are bending the knee and embracing values contrary to biblical principles, especially when those values earn them the checkmark of approval from the LGBTQ+ community.

Pat Gray and the “Unleashed” team turn their gaze toward the Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Carlsbad, California, where at a recent service, a “call to worship” involved rejecting all messages that spoke against the LGBTQ+ agenda.

Pat plays the clip of an adult church official and a child assistant standing in front of a rainbow Pride flag while reading the following blasphemous creed to the congregation:

Officiant: “In the image of God, You created everything and called it good.”

Child: “In abundant diversity, Your likeness is found in us.”

Officiant: “We reject all messages that belittle or degrade any among us.” (Read more from “Watch: Woke Church Celebrates Queer Youth — ‘You Are Queer Enough as You Are’ — and Then Invokes the ‘Queer Ancestors’?!” HERE)

‘There’s a Price for Being Russia’s Enemy’: Putin, Kim Aim to Intimidate U.S.

Russian President Vladimir Putin needs North Korea — not just for its weapons, but also to help deliver a warning to the U.S. and its allies: There will be a significant price to pay for any nation that gets on the Kremlin’s bad side.

That was one of the key points made by former CIA Moscow station chief Daniel Hoffman, who said during an online forum Tuesday that Mr. Putin’s recent meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was an acknowledgment by Moscow that it has become increasingly reliant on pariah states such as North Korea amid diplomatic isolation and heavy economic sanctions from the West.

But Mr. Putin had another motivation, one that seems to have driven the decision to publicly play up the mutual defense pact that the two often wary neighbors signed during their historic summit last month.

“I think that Vladimir Putin’s visit to Pyongyang — it’s definitely part of his cold calculus. It’s also a bit of an act of desperation. He needs North Korea, and he also needs the relationship to be very much public,” Mr. Hoffman told the Washington Brief, a monthly forum hosted by the Washington Times Foundation.

The mutual defense agreement, which on its surface seems to indicate Russia and North Korea will come to the other’s aid if attacked, may have also given Mr. Putin a powerful messaging tool against those who seek to isolate the Kremlin for its invasion of Ukraine.

Biden Extends Losing Streak as Third Judge Blocks Rule Adding ‘Gender Identity’ to Title IX

A federal judge in Kansas temporarily blocked the Department of Education’s Title IX rewrite in four states, marking the third straight court loss by the administration as it struggles to defend its final rule adding “gender identity” to the landmark act against sex discrimination in education.

U.S. District Judge John Broomes granted a preliminary injunction Tuesday prohibiting the department from enforcing the policy, which was slated to take effect Aug. 1, in four states: Kansas, Alaska, Utah and Wyoming.

Not only that, but the order covers “every school attended by the members of Young America’s Foundation and the children of Moms for Liberty members,” who brought the lawsuit along with the four states and Female Athletes United.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach cheered the decision, saying that his office has had many court victories, “but to me, this is the biggest one yet.”

“It protects girls and women across the country from having their privacy rights and safety violated in bathrooms and locker rooms and from having their freedom of speech violated if they say there are only two sexes,” the Republican official in a statement.

CIA Mishandled Sexual Assault Allegations, Internal Review Finds

An internal investigation into the CIA revealed that the agency failed to handle allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault within its ranks properly.

CIA Inspector General Robin Ashton said in a statement describing the results of the review that leadership had “not been wholly successful in preventing, or efficiently and effectively responding to, workplace harassment and sexual assault incidents.”

In the 648-page classified report, prompted by the Senate, Ashton made 22 recommendations to CIA Director William Burns and other agency leaders on improving how the agency handles claims of sexual assault and harassment.

Burns said in a statement that the CIA has already taken steps to make it easier for employees to report abuse and expand the agency’s capacity to investigate allegations.

“I take the issue of sexual harassment and sexual assault extremely seriously,” he said. (Read more from “CIA Mishandled Sexual Assault Allegations, Internal Review Finds” HERE)

Report: ‘Openly Genderfluid’ Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton to Undergo Mental Health Treatment to Resolve Theft Charges

Sam Brinton, an “openly genderfluid” former Department of Energy official under the Biden administration, will reportedly receive mental health treatment to resolve theft charges from stealing a woman’s luggage.

Brinton was reported to have pleaded guilty to petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor, instead of grand larceny, which is a felony offense, according to the Washington Free Beacon. In 2018, Brinton stole fashion designer Asya Khamsin’s luggage while at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Khamsin came forward in 2023, revealing that she had lost luggage in 2018, and photos of Brinton appeared to show him wearing one of her “custom made” outfits, adding that a lot of the outfits Brinton wore had been in her missing luggage.

In a hearing last week at the Arlington General District Court, state prosecutors reportedly announced that Brinton would “undergo mental health treatment, write a letter of apology, and complete 50 hours of community service helping the elderly,” according to the outlet.

“The resolution we came to is supported by the facts and circumstances of the case as a whole,” a spokeswoman for Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Arlington Country said in a statement. “Unfortunately, since this case remains pending, we are prohibited from commenting further.” (Read more from “Report: ‘Openly Genderfluid’ Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton to Undergo Mental Health Treatment to Resolve Theft Charges” HERE)

Woman Accuses RFK Jr. of Multiple Sexual Assaults

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s former babysitter Eliza Cooney accused him of multiple instances of sexual assault during her employment with the Kennedy family, according to a Vanity Fair expose.

Cooney’s allegations, which occur at points through 1998 and 1999, show a few instances in which Kennedy made unwanted advances toward her.

In a November 1998 diary entry, she said, “From everything everybody says about the Kennedys + their Babysitters, they had me worried. Like I have to watch out, be careful. And the other night in the kitchen w/ Murray I could have sworn he was touching my leg + hand. It seemed like he thought I was somebody else or wasn’t paying attention. Like he would come to every once in a while and snap out of it or I would move away. It was like he was on something or really tired or was missing Mary or was testing me.”

She later said she discovered Kennedy reading her personal diary, which contained the entry. She said she stopped recording her experiences for fear he would read them. A few months later, after Cooney had taken part in a yoga class with a sports bra and leggings, “Kennedy came up behind her, blocked her inside the room, and began groping her, putting his hands on her hips and sliding them up along her rib cage and breasts.”

Kennedy was interrupted by another worker who said something to the effect of, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” or “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want your wife to know about.” (Read more from “Woman Accuses RFK Jr. of Multiple Sexual Assaults” HERE)

WH Staffers Reportedly ‘Scared S–tless’ of Erratic Biden, Tiptoe Around ‘Isolated’ President During Briefings: ‘Not a Pleasant Person to Be Around’

Some White House staffers have been forced to tiptoe around President Biden when briefing him on certain topics because they want to avoid eliciting his wrath and are “scared s–tless” of him, a new report says.

“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’”a senior administration official told Politico, referring to how some of the 81-year-old president’s aides feel they have to walk through a minefield before briefings to avoid him getting angry with them.

“It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing,” the source said. “Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s—less of him.”

Biden “doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the source said.

The White House vehemently rejected the characterizations of the president, with Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates stressing to The Post on Tuesday, “That’s simply not who he is.” (Read more from “WH Staffers Reportedly ‘Scared S–tless’ of Erratic Biden, Tiptoe Around ‘Isolated’ President During Briefings: ‘Not a Pleasant Person to Be Around’” HERE)

Report: Obama Has Expressed Concern About Biden Privately

A report from the Washington Post suggests that former President Barack Obama has privately expressed concern about President Joe Biden’s chances for reelection.

“Former president Barack Obama has privately told allies who have reached out to him that President Biden’s already-tough path to reelection grew more challenging after his shaky debate performance on Thursday — a harsher assessment of the presidential race than his public comments, according to several people familiar with his remarks,” the report on Tuesday noted.

In public, following Biden’s poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Obama has been stalwart in his support of the current president.

“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama said in a statement on social media last week.

“But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” Obama continued. “Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit,” Obama said, concluding that “Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”

Oscar-Winning A-Lister Blasts Hollywood’s ‘Timid and Artless’ Gay Agenda

Sean Penn might be one of the biggest lefties in Hollywood, but even he’s fed up with the industry’s not-so-secret gay agenda.

Penn is a famed climate nut, rivaled perhaps only by Leo and Clooney. His weird “vanity project” on Volodymyr Zelenskyy early in the Ukraine war had even the corporate press scratching their heads. And of course, one of his best known roles is that of LGBT activist Harvey Milk, for which he won an Oscar.

But in a gushing profile for The New York Times, he responded “no” when asked if he could play a gay character like Milk again.

“It could not happen in a time like this,” Penn told The Times. “It’s a time of tremendous overreach. It’s a timid and artless policy toward the human imagination.”

He’s slamming Hollywood for being too obsessed with reality-based casting. Have a straight actor play a gay character, and the whole project is sure to invite a media lecture on “real representation.” (Read more from “Oscar-Winning A-Lister Blasts Hollywood’s ‘Timid and Artless’ Gay Agenda” HERE)
